While the controversy surrounding the Dallas Cowboys’ impending quarterback decision between rookie sensation Dak Prescott and injured incumbent Tony Romo continues to rage, coach Jason Garrett maintains a pragmatic and realistic approach.

Romo, who has missed the first six games of the season with a fractured bone in his back, is not ready to play or even return to practice. And any discussion about the future is pointless to the one-day-at-a-time, one-practice-at-a-time Cowboys coach.

TONY IS DOING A GREAT JOB WITH HIS REHAB. HE’S WORKED VERY HARD TO COME BACK LIKE HE HAS OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS WHEN HE’S DEALT WITH SOME OF THESE INJURIES.

The Cowboys (5-1) have a bye this week and will have just one short practice on Wednesday. Romo will not take part in that, Garrett said, meaning it’s unlikely he returns for the Oct. 30 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles following the bye.

“I would not anticipate that,” Garrett said of Romo practicing this week. “We are going to have a short practice on Wednesday. Tomorrow is going to be a run and lift day for the guys. We haven’t talked about the players who aren’t going to be available.”

So what is Romo going to be doing this week?

“I think he is continuing to ramp up what his rehab is, spend more time with the trainers,” Garrett said.

Will likely start week after this. Just a guess here nothing scientific about that speculation.

i'm betting they give him a start vs. Cleveland, mainly for evaluation
